the independent foreign policy. now we have two keywords from the cabinet and peace. i believe it's two words actually defying the nature of the whole policy. first, independent. why independence is so important for china's current policy for the country. china has been an independent country for many centuries. we cherish independence very much and it is one of our fundamental ideas. from 1840 to 1949, china was invaded by foreign powers time and again and lost much of its independent. for instance, china's customs service from 1861 to 1911 was bush official, robert hahn. china was coerced into 343 illegal treaties at gunpoint. he was 14 million kilograms of silver for war spot on it homeland and china lost 1.6 million of territory. so during that period, china has little say on its own feet and was not treated with respect, justice or fairness on the world stage. these 100 years or so i remembered that the chinese nation as a century of national humiliation. this was the chinese revolution in the 20th century and most of this generation of chinese in the struggle ga
